I finally picked up an Aventurine Necklace. I’ve been wanting to use one as a pendulum for a while!

Beforge I began cleansing and charging, I lit a white candle and envisioned a light for protection. I feel my path is leading more and more toward a Christian witch, so I did a prayer as I was lighting the candle.
Then, when I was ready, I lit a sage incense that I have and used the smoke to cleans the item. I said ’praise be to the...’ (you've heard it) as I did so. I also sent a blessing out to the kind spirited as well as the elements.
And let me Tell you what, I held it up for the first time as a pendulum after and IT STAYED PUT! No movement at all till I asked questions! I couldn’t be anymore excited!
